Huang Zhong would definitely not kill Chunyu Qiong easily. He ordered people to take him under strict supervision and then rushed to the provincial governor's office with his people.

There were not many defenders in the city. Except for a few on duty on the city walls, the rest were staying honestly in the military camp. Huang Zhong and his team took down Jizhou City at an almost negligible price. Not only did they capture Chunyu Qiong, but they also captured Yuan Xi who was staying in the prefecture palace again.

At dawn, Han Zhan brought his troops to Jizhou City. Looking at the big banner with his character "Han" flying on the top of the city, he couldn't help but feel emotion. He once said that within three or five years, he would take back Jizhou from Yuan Shao, not to mention that others felt that he was talking nonsense, even he felt that this possibility was slim. Unexpectedly, after only more than half a year, he led tens of thousands of people into Jizhou.

After coming to the provincial governor's office, Han Zhan took the position in the middle, he first praised Huang Zhong, who had made great contributions, and promoted him to the lieutenant. Then he ordered: "Bring Chunyu Qiong, Yuan Xi and others up!"

Chunyu Qiong and Yuan Xi were escorted by four soldiers and walked into the main hall. Han Zhan smiled and said to the two: "General Chunyu, the second young master, I really didn't expect that we will meet again so soon!"

Chunyu Qiong raised his head and said loudly: "Since it has fallen into your hands again, it is up to you to kill and cut. If I frowned, I will not be considered a hero."

Although Han Zhan sent troops from Sheguo County under the banner of avenging his father, he only imprisoned and never killed the captured Yuan Shao's subordinates. Because once Yuan Shao became a commander, even Gongsun Zan could deal with him. Instead of destroying Yuan Shao, it would be better to keep him, at least restrain Gongsun Zan and Cao Cao, so that he could gain valuable time to exert his strength. When he became strong, he would destroy them one by one. Therefore, he politely said to Chunyu Qiong: "General Chunyu, who said I want to kill you?"

"Don't you kill me?" Chunyu Qiong heard Han Zhan's tone and seemed to have no intention of killing him at all. He quickly asked, "Do you want to let me go?" As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that if he was really let go, he would probably be even less favored by Yuan Shao, and would be ridiculed by others in the future. Instead of doing that, it would be better to let Han Zhan kill him more worry-free.

Han Zhan ordered the four soldiers standing in the hall: "Hurry to loosen the tie for General Chunyu and Mr. Yuan Er!" After the two tied ropes were untied, he looked at Yuan Xi and said: "Mr. Yuan, you should know that Han raised an army not to cause trouble, but to avenge his father. Now Han knows that the culprit of killing his father is still Feng Ji's dog thief. Please ask Mr. Yuan to go back and tell Ling Zun that as long as Feng Ji's head is sent, Han is willing to return to Jizhou and return to Sheguo County to be a small Sheguo Order."

Han Zhan's seemingly heart-wrenching words, let alone Yuan Xi was stunned, even Guo Jia, who was sitting beside him, was confused. However, he did not ask Han Zhan why he said this in front of everyone, but just watched the change without saying a word.

"Marquis Zhangshuiting, do you mean that as long as my father sends Feng Ji's head, you can withdraw your troops?" Yuan Xi asked in an incredible tone: "Is this all true?"

"A word is as good as a horse," Han Zhan knew that Feng Ji was Yuan Shao's confidant and could flatter him. It would be strange if Yuan Shao could kill him, so he pretended to be confident and said, "I, Han, swears to the sky. If Yuan Cheqi sent Feng Ji to the head, if he did not return Jizhou, he would not die well in the future, and he would have been killed by thousands of arrows."

Seeing Han Zhan's poisonous oath, Yuan Xi felt much more at ease. He asked tentatively: "I wonder if the Marquis of Zhangshuiting can send someone to escort Xia to Jieqiao and convey your meaning to your father?"

"No problem, I can send someone to escort Yuan Er Gongzi to Jieqiao and reunite with Yuan Cheqi." Han Zhan had no intention of keeping Yuan Xi, so he asked Zhao Yun to send two cavalrymen to escort Yuan Xi to Jieqiao to meet Yuan Shao.

After seeing Yuan Xi away and Chunyu Qiong was imprisoned, Han Zhan ordered someone to bring Tian Feng up.

Tian Feng lowered his head and walked into the main hall under the leadership of a soldier. He came to Han Zhan, gave a deep bow, and said, "Feng meets the Marquis of Zhangshuiting!"

"Mr. Yuanhao is not a gift!" Han Zhan stepped forward and held his arm, and said politely, "Mr. Yuanhao is wronged, sit down and talk."

After Tian Feng sat down, he said with some emotion: "In the past, the Marquis of Zhangshuiting left Jizhou and said that it would take back Jizhou in three or five years. The old Han family members thought that the Marquis was to appease the people. Who would have thought that in just half a year, you were commanding the army into Jizhou. It was really unpredictable."

Han Zhan has limited talents. When he saw Tian Feng, he couldn't wait to say: "Mr. Yuan Hao, although Jizhou has fallen into my hands now, no one is available to him. I wonder if Mr. can help me?"

Tian Feng only considered Han Zhan’s request for a moment, then stood up and said, “Marquis Zhangshuiting, Tian Feng is talented and knowledgeable, and I’m afraid he can’t share your worries. You should ask for another wise man.”

Seeing that Tian Feng refused his invitation, Han Zhan felt particularly disappointed. He thought he had won five or six cities all the way, so the old Han family members who were forced to surrender to Yuan Shao in the past should come to join him one after another. Unexpectedly, even the old Han family officials like Tian Feng are unwilling to help him.

Seeing the atmosphere in the main hall becoming more serious, Guo Jia stood up and bowed to Tian Fenggong who was sitting beside him and said, "Mr. Yuanhao, I want to ask, you are unwilling to serve the Marquis of Zhangshuiting. Is it because you are worried that Yuan Shao will retake Jizhou and you will not have a place to stay there?"

Seeing that Guo Jia had guessed his thoughts at once, Tian Feng couldn't help but blush. He stood up like his teeth and said straightforwardly: "What Fengxiao said is not bad, Tian Feng was worried about this. Not long ago, Yuan killed all the officials who secretly colluded with the Marquis of Zhangshuiting and his family and more than 2,000 people overnight. Even if Tian Feng could spare his life, he could not help but think about the lives of more than 100 people in his family."

After understanding Tian Feng's concerns, Han Zhan comforted him and said, "Mr. Yuan Hao, please rest assured. Han promises you that Yuan Shao will never come back to this Jizhou. Just continue to be your Jizhou and manage Jizhou City for me. I will definitely protect your family's safety."
